 * AP US HISTORY**
 * [[image:book_page_flip_md_wht.gif]]you should be doing this everyday!!! **
 * Welcome aboard to APUSH where we try to fit 10 pound of sugar into a 5 pound bag! In college this would be two separate courses! So we'll somewhat treat it like that with a first semester and second semester, with the only difference is that your grade will be cumulative. This subject covers American History from Columbus and his "discovery" of the New World up to present day. Our textbook is 42 chapters nearly 1100 pages! But we'll take it slow and a few concepts and terms at a time. __I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU INVEST IN AN IPAD, KINDLE FIRE or TABLET__ of some type. If you do, then instead of lugging around a heavy textbook, you can read the same book electronically! I also plan on using several video clips to lecture outside of class, instead of during class, so you can download them and watch them at your leisure. Likewise, t__here'll be several outside readings, documents, books, articles, paintings, pictures, portraits, cartoons and drawings we'll be evaluating throughout the year.__ Having your own electronic version of these should help you immensely.**


 * Class will consist of term quizzes, reading quizzes, writing analysis, debates, socratic circles, discussions and yes even some lecture. I plan on implementing some of the flipped classroom strategies, where you will be responsible for watching lecture online at home (relax, usually only 10-15 min) and working with that content in class. You'll also be responsible for keeping a set of notes for each chapter. It is going to be a great year!**
